It has occurred to me that I seem to like mythical beast over real gods. No matter, think Hydra's head mechanic sounds cool. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Thank you for checking my idea out :).
Edit: Should I add lore to my future god ideas? Is it worth the time to post some lore or does nobody read it?

Looks weird on paper. He has so many area attacks. The multi pronged attack seems overpowered: we're talking 6 heads each hitting for 80 + 30%, meaning 480 + 180%, for a basic skill. On a 6 second CD with CDR. If you get weakening curse that's basically GG.

As for the ult, does EACH head bite every .4 seconds, or you bite once per .4 seconds? Because that's 5 heads (since not counting the main) biting every .4 seconds is a total 75 bites, then. Even if it's only one head, once every .4 seconds is still 15 hits. This makes it either 750 damage or 3750 damage, NOT even counting the searing flesh main head thing.

I love the concept. You incorporated head ideas well. It just seems he was a warrior-esque type design that, by numbers, turned into a ridiculously overpowered assassin. And the worst part, is most of his abilities hit many targets at once.

But this makes it interesting. He's a walking grenade. If he touches you you die. But you gave him ZERO mobility and ZERO slows outside of his ultimate. This is the only god in the entire game who will have 0 CC in his basic skillset, if I remember correctly.

This basically, to me, sounds like a 500 pound man walking around with a chainsaw while everyone else has a bow and arrow. They kill him from afar and never care about him at all, but the second he is in range he (metaphorically AND linguistically) shreds through them instantaneously. This isn't sustainable. This means he's either broken good or broken bad. You can't have a god that's horrible 90% of the fight and insta-penta the other 10%.

I'd ask to retune things, give him mobility or an actually decent slow, and rework his numbers. I still want to commend you - while this current form can't work, I think the pros of your ideas outweigh the cons of the on-paper limitations. This was still very well done.

Oh my gosh a smite character with almost no CC what was I thinking!!!!! I was so focus on the head idea that I never thought about CC. I'll either give a slow on his 3 or a stun on his 2.

I wanted him to be an obvious late game carry. He's bad at first with just one head but a monster late game with all his heads. I'll edit the ult to sound better. For the ult, it's just one damage (that's still almost over 2000k damage with the flame on just base damage), not per head. I figured that his number have to be tweaked. I'll do that tomorrow since I need to go to bed. Thanks for liking the idea.

Edit: Alright I did some changes so he's now is like everyone else, having actual CC.
